thank you everyone for the compliments- oh jawge- thats great thought xylo might be a good name for her, i'm actually shooting better groups with this than one of my bows with a rest, I think I might take it out for turkey this spring- oh eric, thank you for posting the tiller on here- oh justin, thanks for the IMG tip, that bow you posted was actually my first bow, 2 yrs ago 14 lbs hehe.
 if i didnt add,I hacked this bow from a 26 year old board of hickory my grampa used for his barn, I think it turned out decent, and tru oil is a great, great scealent- alot better than deft in my opinion.again, thanks for looking -jimmy

hey koan, yeah the heartwood works great, its a real nice honey-reddish color too- to be honest i could have been fine not staining her, but I wanted to try that new miniwax-everyone told me that it was brittle too, but so far its the best stuff ive worked with. thanks for all the complments all-jimmy
